oil pan leaking
I have a 98 MN6 coupe that I've owned for 5 years (since new), I have about 70K miles on it, I just heard from the shop my oil pan is leaking, is this normal?

Re: oil pan leaking (3rdtoy)
I've got a '00 with 104K miles and no leaks on the oil "pan", so I'd say "No" to your question.
Besides, a little bit of oil can go a long way down and around the engine. What do they mean by "leaking?"
A bit more info would be helpful in diagnosing. Let us know.
Hope this helps,
Mike

Hi
I have also an 98 MN6 with only 20k and it leaks to, it leaks enough to make small spots on the garage floor, I dont know if this is a big problem or not but how much is normal?? :(

Re: oil pan leaking (3rdtoy)
the oil is leaking from the gasket, I tighened all the bolts (all were very tight already), will next drop the pan and change the gaskets. I never had the rear leak, but this week, I had the fuel filter leak, the oil pan, and the left side head is leaking cooleant, all from a car with 70K miles on it, good Quality GM.
